Invite-only free beta
Crew hours and invoicesfor film and TV productions.
CrewShift covers the paperwork between booking crew and paying them: offers, deal memos, clocked hours, approvals and invoices. The producer approves the hours, and the crew member's invoice is built from those approved hours.
For producers
Approve hours and invoices while the shoot runs
You approve the timesheets and then the invoices during the production, instead of checking them all after wrap.

What CrewShift is
From hours on set to a paid invoice
CrewShift is time tracking and invoicing for film and TV productions. Crew clock in at call time and out at wrap, the producer approves the timesheet, and the approved hours become the invoice. Overtime tiers, night premiums and turnaround come off the clock data, so both sides read the same numbers before anything is signed off.
It is built for the people who carry the paperwork: producers and production offices closing the books on a shoot, and the freelance crew who invoice them. Clocking, timesheets and invoices cost crew nothing, though syncing to your own bookkeeping is a paid add-on. CrewShift is an invite-only free beta.
Producers can also connect the AI assistant they already use, such as Claude or ChatGPT, and ask it about their projects. It works with their own rights and can never sign, approve or pay.
Who builds it
The people behind CrewShift
CrewShift B.V. is based in Amsterdam and run by its two founders.
Igor Riabchuk
Builds the product. Co-founder and co-director of CrewShift B.V.
Trust
Built to be audited
This is money- and contract-handling software, built so every figure can be traced and proven.
Sealed SHA-256 7-year audit trail
Sealed documents
A signed deal memo and an approved invoice are sealed as a PDF with a certificate page that lists the parties, the signatures and approvals, and a SHA-256 hash of the signed content. Change a number afterwards and the hash no longer matches.
Every step logged
Issued invoices freeze into a snapshot. An event log records who sent, opened, signed, approved and paid each deal memo and invoice, and financial records are kept for 7 years, as Dutch tax law requires.
Encrypted where it counts
Tax numbers and bank account numbers are encrypted at rest. Day and hourly rates are hidden from direct database reads and only come back through checks that allow the producer, co-producers, people with the Finance duty or the Accounting right, and the crew member whose rate it is.
Hosted in the EU
Data is stored on EU-hosted infrastructure. Diagnostics (crash reports and usage statistics, also EU-hosted) never include pay, bank or personal details, and you can switch them off in Settings. From the app you can download a machine-readable copy of your account data (GDPR Art. 15 and 20) or delete your account (Art. 17).
Assistants act with your rights
A connected AI assistant sees and does only what you can, within the permissions you granted. It can never sign, approve or pay, and you can disconnect it at any time.
